guide WELD® VR welding simulator

The guideWELD® VR welding simulator is a virtual reality welding simulator that enables students to rapidly refine basic welding skills, learn proper welding technique and explore welding career paths in a safe, virtual environment, without the need for consumables like metal and gas.

guideWELD® LIVE real welding guidance system

The guideWELD® LIVE real welding guidance system is a live welding training and education tool that gives students instant feedback on core welding techniques during live, arc-on welding. This corrective feedback helps participants transfer skills learned in the classroom and hone the core work angle, travel angle and speed techniques and positioning needed to weld effectively without guidance.
